Mango as is: get used to exotic

Exotic nowadays, few people will be surprised: people go to rest in distant and close countries, eat unusual food, but what to say - in a regular supermarket you can buy a fruit like mango. As there is this overseas miracle, how to cut it correctly and beautifully, we will understand right now. Those who did not have time to make friends with this fruit from warm edges, you can only envy - you have a very tasty discovery!

Let's start in order:

1) how to choose. The "right" mango should be elastic and dense, if you try to squeeze it. Not like a nut, but not as a peach. The rind must be shiny, without cuts, dents or potholes. If these conditions are met - we take! And if the color of the fetus is red-yellow, then we take it without doubting.

Bring home, twist, sniff, but how to be next? And you need to thoroughly wash the mango, cut it and think about how we want to use it. There are many ways - you can make a salad with mango, you can add flesh to yogurt, you can make a cocktail, whipping in a blender ...

2) how to cut mangoes. The question, it would seem, is not so complicated, but only at first glance. It's all in the bone - it's huge for a mango. The flesh must be literally cut around it. There are several ways to cut this fruit:

1. The way is beautiful. Cut into three parts so that the bone remains in the larger - it is in the middle. The other two parts are turned into a tic-tac-toe tablet - gently draw the lines from top to bottom and from left to right. After that, you just have to press your finger, as if turning the mango inside out - and the pieces are ready, now you can do anything with them. They are beautiful and even. The remains of the middle piece, the one with the stone, can be eaten or cut and then shaken in a blender.

2. The method is simple, but somewhat barbaric. Make an incision, as if separating one-third of the fruit. But it's shallow, so that only the skin is removed. Remove the peel, hold for the part with which the peel was not removed. We eat like ice cream, just do not forget about the bone, we keep our teeth. Barbarism in dirty hands, face and, possibly, flying splashes everywhere.

3. A method with the use of force. You can try to squeeze out the flesh through a small incision, but it's unlikely that the event will succeed - the flesh, although it's called, is not so soft, which means, at best, it will turn out to be juice, which is generally not bad either.

There are several other ways, but they are more like not the cutting of mangoes, but the extraction of pulp from it. The best for salads is the number one method described above. And the eye is nice, and the kitchen is clean. If we can not wait to taste this fruit, we can simplify the first way - cut into the same 3 parts, from the halves extract the pulp with a spoon.

So, before us is a cut mango: how is this outlandish fruit?

About the option "just so, with a spoon" I will not speak, it is intuitive to everyone. Mango is perfectly combined with other exotic fruits - papaya, kiwi, as well as with the usual bananas, oranges, apples and pears. In any proportion, they can be mixed in a blender or made from them salads, filling with yogurt or cocktails.

A very unusual pizza will turn out if the dough is sprinkled with brown sugar, put half a mango, papaya, one kiwi on top of it, and sprinkle it with grated coconut with sugar.

Gourmets cook chicken with mango and avocado, bake pies and make salads. Here, for example, a simple, but very spicy salad:

- 1 kg of boiled potatoes (preferably young),

- 1 finely chopped onion,

- 1 mango.

How to eat such a salad depends on your taste preferences. It can be added mint, parsley, salt, pepper. Dressed with mayonnaise.

However, one should be careful when using mango during pregnancy. If you are not fond of exotic dishes before it comes, perhaps the body will not appreciate your culinary delights now. Overeating and can lead to constipation, colic and other unpleasant consequences. If the desire to eat mangoes is stronger than you, try to eat a few slices. If there are no unpleasant sensations or allergic reactions - then sometimes you can afford 1/3 of the mango. As there is a fruit to diabetics - no more than 1 piece per day. Although it improves the condition of the pancreas, side effects of overeating in the form of a variety of problems with the stomach are not uncommon.

It is believed that mango improves brain activity and helps to lose weight, and the number of vitamins and useful elements in it resembles a list on the packaging of multivitamin preparations. This is sodium with phosphorus, and potassium with calcium, and nicotinic acid with iron. And vitamins B1, B2 and C.

Try new things, get down to the unknown! Good luck in opening fruit!
